The "Is It Worth Training Up?" Thread

[Zootster]

Is a Manectric worth training? I've been thinking about training one now..

Manetric is pretty much a Jolteon with lower stats...but it makes a pretty awesome UU.

Umm, is it worth training a Houndour up to a Houndoom?

Umm, is it worth training a Houndour up to a Houndoom?

For Psychic types, it's nice to have, and the Fire type is an extra bonus. But it has good stats overall: good special, good physical, special defense can take some hits but it does have one weakness: low defense, any physical can take it out. But beyond that, it's a good Pokemon to use.

So yeah, you should. For a purely special type.

Pory2 is an awesome UU poke imo, and it'll prolly do pretty decent in OU. Try this moveset;) :
Porygon2@Leftovers
Modest Nature (+SpAtk, -Atk)
Trait: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 128 SpAtk / 128 Def
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Recover
Thunder Wave / Toxic

BoltBeam pwns

Thanks for the moveset idea!
But what is UU and OU?
Sorry, I'm a newb at doing this online :P

 

[Rioku]

uu means under used and ou i think means over used. btw is a Sentret worth raising up?

 

[Shiny Meganium]

No, I don't think Sentret/Furret is worth it. It doesn't have too good stats.It is a good HM slave though and it can be taught a variety of attacks.

Is walrein any good? Or Lapras?

 

[Zootster]

Is walrein any good? Or Lapras?

These two are very similar to eachother, but Lapras is much better imo. This is a pretty awesome Lapras set:
Lapras @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 128 SpAtk / 128 SpDef
Modest Nature
- Confuse Ray
- Sing
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

Again, BoltBeam = ownage

I Have Clefable In My Leafgreen...Is It Worth Training?

 

[Mr Snrub]

[Mr Snrub]

clefable = not really but with the right moves and the right training i spose it can become one solid fighter... wat about ninjask and tentacruel

 

[Omega Latios]

Ninjask Can Kick Butt If It's Speed And Attack Is High

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 264 Speed / 240 Attack
Timid Nature
- Fury Cutter
- Sword Dance
- Double Team
- Return

Double Team + Sword Dance + Fury Cutter...Prepare For Destruction!

 

[Synchronize]

Furret is ony good for Trickbanding IMO, so I wouldn't recommend it for anything serious.

Ninjask Can Kick Butt If It's Speed And Attack Is High

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 264 Speed / 240 Attack
Timid Nature
- Fury Cutter
- Sword Dance
- Double Team
- Return

Double Team + Sword Dance + Fury Cutter...Prepare For Destruction!

More like:
Ninjask @ Leftovers
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Jolly Nature
- Sliver Wind

- Substitute
- Baton Pass

Never use Double Team.

How bout Ditto? Anyone know anything about that?

 

[Dragonite Tamer]

Is Mantine worth training up?

 

[brotlov]

Hay does anyone here know if a Granbull is worth trining, mine's on LV: 61 and knows: Strength, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Fire Punch.

 

[Bomberman]

How about Ditto or Wobbufet?

 

[Xiaphear]

Needs More:

@Leftovers
-Return
-Heal Bell
-Shadow Ball
-Thunder Wave


or

@Choice Band
-Return
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Punch
-Brick Break

How about Ditto or Wobbufet?

both are pretty much boring IMO, more so Wobbuffet in-game.

Wobbuffet @ Leftovers
-Destiny Bond
-Counter
-Mirror Coat
-Encore

Ditto might be kinda fun in-game though. Train it and find out.

Is Mantine worth training up?

It has nothing that a better water type can't do better except maybe Haze, and even then Vaporeon does it pretty much better.

uhm...magikarp in the period of 1st and second gym?

Please rephrase that so I can understand.
